Chapter 47: Vignette

"Calm down, doll. Don't make me hurt you right here and now. I really don't want to even after what you did to me." Hyunjae says as he walks towards Taehyung.

"I should've fucking killed you on those nights you slept with me. Would've been a fucking sight to see you in your own blood." Taehyung says and Hyunjae just laughs.

"We both know you're not brave enough to do it." Hyunjae says.

"And now you're going to be a good and trained bitch for me. You really thought you can just hide from me huh?" Hyunjae scoffs.

"I'll find that little kid too and then---".

"In your fucking dreams." Taehyung says because Sunwo is with Jeongguk, the safest he'll ever be in that house.

"Hmm, we'll see."

"I'll be kind enough to let you say goodbye to your grandmother." Hyunjae says and Taehyung feels a sob bubbling in his chest instantly, remembering his grandmother is no longer with him.

"I'm going to kill you." Taehyung says while crying and Hyunjae is smiling, and the next moment, he isn't.

The next thing Taehyung knows is a sharp pain on his cheek, a sound of a brutal slap echoing in the room, so hard that Taehyung blanks for a millisecond.

He feels a hard heel of a show on his chest, his back meeting the floor and Hyunjae's shoe now on his chest.

"This is where you fucking belong, you s*ut, under my shoe as nothing but dirt. And I'm going to show you your place." Hyunjae says, moving his foot up and to Taehyung's throat.

Taehyung chokes on his cries as Hyunjae applies the pressure on his throat. He immediately holds his leg, trying to move it off as it becomes difficult to breathe.

"You thought you're something special huh? Even Jeon Jeongguk discarded you like some trash because there's nothing more to you." Hyunjae utters.

Taehyung could hear the ringing in his ear, his vision getting more blurry as he kept hitting Hyunjae's leg and finally, that bastard lets go, making Taehyung breathe heavily and cough, his throat burning.

He stays on the floor, catching his breath. When he tilts his head, he sees his grandmother, her hand falling off the bed and he cries, he cries silently but he cries hard, trying to reach to hold her hand but it was impossible.

I'm sorry halmeoni. I'm so sorry.

Taehyung panics when he's grabbed again, being dragged towards the door. He tries to yell at them to stop, to let him hold her hand just once, kiss her forehead and say a proper goodbye or just cry his heart out next to her bed.

Taehyung grabs the edge of the wall, not wanting to leave, his throat aching and unable to make a sound rather just cries that shook his own body.

He could see Hyunjae putting the sheets over her face and that's all he saw last of her, saw her for the last time before he was dragged away to a car and towards hell.

Sunwo baby, please be safe. I'm sorry.

"Is you going somewhere?" Jeongguk stops when he hears the faint and shy voice. Namjoon also stops next to him.

He turns around to look at Sunwo, holding his teddy bear and looking at him with wide innocent eyes.

"Yes." Jeongguk says.

"Well its been two days and Taetae did not sends hugs and kisses." Sunwo says.

"You said you gives him mine right?" He asks.
